National land charity the Land Trust is launching an international competition to find the most inspirational design and funding a team to create a new visitor destination and public open space at the former Cronton Colliery in Knowsley.

The competition is open to multi-disciplinary design teams and is being run by the Land Trust in association with RIBA Competitions. The competition will be in two stages, judged anonymously in the first stage. A shortlist will then be invited to enhance and present their designs and potential funding propositions at interview as part of the second stage.

It is the intention of the Land Trust to identify an architect or team that is able to demonstrate an empathy and understanding of the site based on its past and future contexts, as set out in the brief, and in tune with the vision and values of the Land Trust.
